Rhydian is no Phantom.

If coming runner-up on the X Factor wasn’t heart breaking enough, now Rhydian Robert’s hopes to star in the West End have been dashed.

The reality show runner-up claimed he was in talks with Andrew Lloyd Webber to play the lead role in the new Phantom Of The Opera.

But the musical mastermind has quashed these rumours because he has never heard Rydian sing.

Lloyd Webber is back on our screens in March with his new reality show ’I’d Do Anything’.

Like he did before with Sound of Music and Joseph and his Technicoloured Dreamcoat, Webber is looking for three kids for the lead role as an orphan and another to star as Nancy for the a West End production of Oliver.

The 59-year-old also made a camio appearance on HollyOaks this week promoting The Sound of Music with Maria now being played by Oak’s babe Summer Strallen.
